How Do I Add Buddy?

You can add new buddies in two ways:

• Add the Buddies Manually

• Add Buddies from the Address Book

To add buddies manually:

1. Click the down arrow next to Add Buddy icon from the instant messaging toolbar.

   The Add Buddy dialog is displayed. By default, the Add New tab is active.

2. Type the username in the Username textbox.

3. Type the alias for the buddy in the Alias textbox.

4. Select a group from the Group drop down menu.

5. Click the Add Buddy button.

To add buddies from Address Book:

1. Click the down arrow next to Add Buddy icon from the instant messaging toolbar and choose Add From Address Book option from the pop up menu.

   The Add Buddy dialog is displayed.

2. Select the required Address Book from the list box.

3. Type the first few characters of the name of the buddy. The list of entries that closely match the typed characters from the Address Book are displayed.

4. Type the alias for the buddy in the Alias textbox.

5. Select the required buddy and click OK.

Buddies once added to a friends list are added to the Pending Authorization group until the buddies accept your request.
